When Did James Frank Start Asking Jeanie for Money?<\/h2>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-12-at-11.42.44-AM.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”100%” align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”center” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

James Frank hit her up on Instagram<\/a> by commenting on a photo about her dog and they hit it off right away.\u00a0He asked for help financially so that he could come home from the Middle East. Because of this, she\u00a0sent him about $5,000.\u00a0Jeanie did everything she could to get this guy home from his deployment. She sent James money for a plane ticket and hotel fees so that he could come and visit her. She wanted to start her future with him, so she was desperate for him to come to Arizona and see her in person.<\/p>\n

He texted her that he was at the hotel in Phoenix and that he was going to drive to Bullhead City to take her breakfast. However, he never showed up.\u00a0After sending all of this money<\/a>, James stopped replying to her, and Jeanie was contacted by an account claiming to be a friend of James.\u00a0The friend, who claimed his name was Marcus, claimed that James was in jail in Phoenix. He claimed that he had just got off the phone with James and that he was fine. He claimed that he loves her and will call her when it is all straightened out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another Man Was Using the Same Photos as James Frank<\/h2>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-12-at-11.42.03-AM.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”100%” align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”center” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

After James was thrown in Jail, another Instagram account<\/a> got in contact with Jeanie. He was using the same photos and claimed that his name was Allen Frank. Jeanie thought that\u00a0Allen was really rude. He told Jeanie that in order to be with her he needed money. He told her to send him $300 worth of Google Play cards or they were done and kept asking her for money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is bizarre now we have 2 different profiles using the same photos<\/a> with different names. Jeanie thought for sure one of them had to be the real man so she started to question both of the profiles.\u00a0She was questioning a lot of things about Allen like why did he have those pictures and that name, why was he using the exact same photos as James, and why was he pretending to be someone he wasn\u2019t. He kept claiming that he really was that person in the photos but Jeanie didn\u2019t believe him.<\/p>\n

James Frank Comes Back Into the Picture<\/h2>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-12-at-11.43.53-AM.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”100%” align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”center” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

After talking to Allen Frank for months James Frank came back into the picture.\u00a0James started talking to Jeanie again on Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a>, and she thought he was real by the way he was sweet when talking to her.\u00a0<\/span>He sent her a message saying he loves her and wants her to forgive him, but she can\u2019t keep forgiving him anymore.\u00a0At this point, Jeanie was confused as to who the real man was. She was madly in love with James Frank, but Allen Frank continued to write her and that’s when she reached out to us.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sacrificed so much for him. So much. I\u2019m reaching out to Social Catfish<\/a> to help me come down with the truth. Why he takes my money and makes promises to me and gives me false hope and when he tries to come to me he doesn\u2019t,\u201d she said crying,\u00a0\u201cI live out of hotels because I sent him the money I didn\u2019t have just to have a life with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
